You want to be an Engineer.
But you probably already knew
that.
Before my March visit to Georgia Tech’s counselor program, I was well
versed in their Top Ranked Engineering programs. Even so, touring the Engineering, Science, and Computer Science facilities was truly eye opening. If you are a student who wants to study a STEM related field, there is no question that Georgia Tech should be on the list of colleges you are considering.
But Georgia Tech has so much more to offer than Engineering! Let's talk about Atlanta. There aren't many campuses that are in world class cities and are also self-contained.

The skyline of Atlanta is visible all around the campus and any kind of shop or restaurant is easily accessible. If you love the campus/city environment of colleges like Georgetown, Boston College, and UPenn, you will love this campus!
If you've never visited Atlanta or if (like me) it's been years since your last trip there, check out this piece from The Huffington Post.

Read all about the Ramblin' Wreck song, the Yellow Jacket mascot, and "Rat Caps" here.
There's also Greek life, if you are interested. And, just for fun, a 184 foot water slide and one of the top ranked College Recreation Centers in the country.

The sky is the limit! Whether students are studying the liberal arts, foreign language, architecture, or finance, they are doing internships and co-ops and they have jobs when they graduate. In fact, Georgia Tech as been recognized nationally for Return on Investment.
Thanks to the Admissions Office at Georgia Tech for a fabulous visit!
